Merlene in head-to-head battles with the best
On this page you will find out how Merlene has done in head-to-head battles against some of the best female sprinters around for the last 25 years. It can be seen that Merlene has done really great against almost every sprinter: Not counting relays, she has positive records against everyone except Marita Koch and Marion Jones. Though when looking at the figures you have to remember the point in time or more correctly speaking the timing of the careers of the respective sprinters. For instance is it no surprise that Merlene has lost more races than she has won over Marion Jones as Merlene had her best years between 1989 and 1996 and Marion has only been around (and on top) since 1997. At the very beginning of her career Merlene was faced with an Evelyn Ashford who was on the height of her career in the first half of the 1980's. On the other hand, the girls that raced against Merlene in her prime time at the beginning of the 1990's have mostly seen her back!!!
